• In Major League Baseball, ESPN reports that after more than a century playing as the Cleveland Indians, the team will drop the nickname, "becoming the latest professional sports franchise to shed its Native American imagery amid accusations that its use is racist … The organization is expected to announce the change this week, sources said, continuing a years-long process in which it abandoned its Chief Wahoo logo and committed to exploring a new nickname, as well."
The story says that "Cleveland has not settled on a new nickname, and it's unclear whether the team will be dropping the nickname immediately or will transition to a new moniker following the 2021 season."
